Pet travel question: I'm moving from Texas to New England in a few weeks, and I'm taking my cat with me. She'll be up to date on all her shots, traveling in a fairly large kennel in my car on the 4-day trip. My question is about sedating her- she hates riding in the car- even fifteen minutes to the vet and back. I'll follow my vet's advice, but does anyone have experience taking a long road trip with an animal who doesn't like to travel? Is "kitty valium" (prescribed by the vet of course) a good option or should I try and see if she adjusts on her own? Any tips and tricks for making the journey more comfortable for both of us?

My 6-week old kitten has fleas. He's off to the vet next week for his first health check and probably a deworming, but he's too little for flea treatements and the little buggers are driving me (and him) nuts! I've read that a warm bath with Dawn dish liquid is a kosher way to get rid of fleas- is that true? Why Dawn specifically, since every site I've read seems to mention it by name. I've also recently been made aware of a serious disease called KES, so to ward that off... Meet Dexter!

What's the best way to deal with a new neighbor whose Great Dane has become my very much unwanted alarm clock? From what I can observe the dog is left outside most of the day in a small fenced area, where it barks at anything that moves. I think they might take it inside at night, but I've been awakened by it late at night so I'm not sure. They get up and let it out a few hours before I'd like to be awake, and it stands outside and barks at anything that moves, which is a lot of things. My husband and I work hard and we would rather not be up and around at 7AM on a Saturday morning, but now we have no choice. I want to be sensitive to the dog's needs and give the pet owner every chance to make a healthy change, but what is the best way to contact the owner and broach the issue?

 Connie (shown here during her Charlie Sheen phase) needs ointment in her eye for a minor infection. Is there any trick to doing this? She squinches her eye closed and squirms, so I've been pretty unsuccessful so far.

ShiroTheSniper posted:Hi! I'll leave home for a whole week this spring and I'm wondering what's best for my 9 years old indoor cat. I have two options: Pro pet sitter here, and I would go for option one. Moving cats is very stressful for them. Having less human interaction is still stressful, but in my experience, it's the easier option for the cat. I have plenty of clients who leave for a week at a time and their cats are just fine with daily visits. I have 5 cats and the only time I've boarded them was for 24 hours while we moved out of our old place.
